Sooooo much of what is considered "code quality" today is irrelevant when robots are writing the code. We've been largely optimizing for things like composability/unit testability in the past 15 or so years, and that&#x2

I'm not saying digest it, I'm saying be able to scan it/skim it/move on, but ignoring it won't help.

Delegation can still mean deep technical connection to the code, just without needing to write the code itself.

Does it matter? Why turn it into a popularity contest?

That’s not a right-wing thought BTW. Publoc schools in Germany for instance are highly exclusionary.

That doesn't happen with a proper test suite. Give guardrails and it's not an issue.

And TBF, I don't think they've established why the issue is so prevalent in Michigan specifically, since Taylor Farms apparently doesn't have any unique connection to Michigan.

Absolutely valid to attack the political beliefs here. Farmed fish is somehow considered ecologically harmful but it's significantly less harmful than overfishing and allows for bringing extremely efficient, healthy food to the contine

Presumably this robotic valet will shift more towards long-term parking distant from the airport when it's known a customer is not returning. Today that's presumably cost ineffective.

Why does it “promise” to destroy your life. Thats absurd hyperbole.

Right, it's a false signal. It doesn't mean that more things are retained. I think what happens in these types of threads is that the people who like handwritten notes , perhaps even obsessively so, all pour in. But that populati

People love to float this myth that everyone's just walking around dehydrated all the time and they do so based on absolutely no data.

All the models do this well. It's a test that tell us nothing at this point.

Frontier is one thing, but low-cost really good models are another. All the chatbots and day-to-day corporate bots are likely to use models that offer the best performance at the lowest cost. I think Grok has an angle here if they can build

Everyone in this thread thinking they know what's best for other people's money. They're getting below the rate of return of treasuries. That's abysmal.

lol, but also, nearly every comment in this thread seems so old school, as if the game hasn't completely changed. PRs for knowledge transfer? I don't need it, I'll just ask an LLM a question if I have one. PRs for enforcing g

I mean, this is just basic smart investing today. Software is now very easily replicable, and you wouldn't want to invest in software that has absolutely no moat. At a minimum, this gives Bain more leverage when negotiating with these
